Maxwell's Ultimate Upper Body Workout
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 4:56 pm
A buddy of mine loaned me this after I begged him in that FoxyBill thead.
This is a fairly typical "exercise catalog" type of product. It sells for $39.99 + S&H. I have to say that as this type of product goes, this is a pretty decent one. He demos a lot of cool movements with the rings (and I imagine you can use the Lifeline Jungle Gym as well)
One thing I like about Maxwell's instruction is that it tends to be minimalist, and with many of these exercises, which are out of my relative strength range, he'll explain on how to scale them down. In addition, he goes into his explanation of proper alignment of the arms to avoid injury.
Exercises covered.
